I’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I’ve kept fit and watch what I eat and am managing to keep my levels under control on diet and exercise alone. I’m working really hard to keep it this way. I find it hard, very hard sometimes, to avoid temptation, and often slip up. I didn’t know how comforting food was until I had to restrict it. As part of my efforts I’ve asked my husband to help by keeping anything tempting he brings into the house out of sight. Chocolate, snack bars, puddings like cheesecake, crumbles etc. He says he ‘forgets’! Too much to ask?
